Les étapes de la marche chrétienne Le parcours du disciple est un livre destiné à ceux qui ont exprimé le désir de suivre Christ, qu'il s'agisse de disciples renouvelés ou de nouveaux disciples. Au mème titre que ces derniers, ceux qui ont grandi dans la foi chrétienne et qui veulent maintenant prendre position pour Christ ont besoin d'apprendre comment appliquer l'Évangile dans leur vie. L'auteur ne tient pas pour acquis que le lecteur sait déjà ce que signifie ètre un disciple de Jésus, ni que ce dernier est prèt à faire profession de foi. Il s'adresse tout simplement à celui ou celle qui se demande quelle est la prochaine étape. Le parcours du disciple est à la fois un ouvrage de référence et un guide d'étude qui comprend des exercices et des lectures qui le rendront utile pour un groupe ou dans un contexte de mentorat.

Pastors of Reformed churches are often asked, "What is a Reformed church?" or "What do you mean by Reformed?" Few booklet-length answers are available. Stephen Smallman, author of Understanding the Faith, has provided a booklet that pastors and churches will find eminently useful. While teaching inquires classes, Smallman writes, "I got a sense of the kind of issues that are in peoples' minds as they struggle to understand and appreciate the core doctrines and traditions of the church." In What Is a Reformed Church? he treats historical roots and the doctrines of Scripture, divine sovereignty, the covenant, the law, the church, and the kingdom.

Understanding the Faith aids those who desire to profess their faith publicly and become communicant members of a church. This workbook walks students through the essentials of the Christian faith, modeling the format of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

THE WALK is a book written to those who have an expressed desire to follow Christ as his disciple. It assumes no prior understanding of what that means, nor does it assume that the person has actually come to a point of professing faith. It uses as a starting point a Roman pagan who is newly converted and wondering, what next? but also regularly addresses those who have grown up Christian and may take for granted the realities that would be new to a recent convert.
